Tailor Of Gloucester

London: Frederick Warne and Co., 1903. First Published Edition In the Rare Original Printed Glassine Dust Jacket POTTER, Beatrix. The Tailor of Gloucester. London: Frederick Warne and Co., 1903. First published edition, first issue (printed October 1903), with a single-page endpaper occurring four times. Twelvemo (5 7/16 x 4 1/16 inches; 139 x 105 mm.). 85, [1, printer's imprint] pp. Color frontispiece and twenty-six color plates (included in pagination). Seventeen illustrations are entirely new for this edition; eleven of the illustrations are repeated from the December 1902 privately printed edition. Original maroon boards ruled and lettered in white on front cover and lettered in white on spine. Color pictorial label on front cover within a blind panel in the shape of a truncated pyramid outlined in blind. Color pictorial endpapers (Quinby Plate I, a single-page endpaper occurring four times). Minimal fading to spine. Small circular bookseller's label on rear pastedown. Otherwise a spectacular copy in very fine condition. Housed in a quarter brown morocco clamshell case with felt lining. In the rare correct glazed paper glassine dust jacket printed in black with the price "1/- NET" at foot of spine, an advertisement for "The Peter Rabbit Books" on the back panel listing The Tale of Peter Rabbit, The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin, and The Tailor of Gloucester, and with vertical lines at the top and bottom of the spine indicating where the fold should come for the front panel. The jacket has a few very small chips along the top edge (the largest being a 3/8 inch piece missing at the top of the spine), but is certainly the finest jacket for this title that we have ever seen. "The year 1903 appears on the front of the title-page of the first two printings. The first printing [October 1903] has a single-page end-paper occurring four times, and the second printing [December 1903], a double-page end-paper occurring twice. In the art fabric de-luxe edition, some copies have the usual frontispiece, others have the cover picture in its place. Both pictures were printed on one sheet, which was cut in half, and each half used as a tipped-in frontispiece. With this binding there was no cover picture" (Linder, p. 423). Linder, p. 423. Quinby 4. V & A 1576.

London: Frederick Warne and Co.,, 1903. Sextodecimo. Original red morocco, title front cover gilt, illustrated endpapers, edges gilt. Housed in a custom red cloth chemise and quarter red morocco and cloth slipcase. Spine faded, spine ends renewed, hinges repaired, outer leaves a little finger-marked; an excellent, bright copy. First edition, first impression, deluxe issue, in an unrecorded morocco binding, apparently a publisher's binding, although not lettered as such. Bound in before the frontispiece is the extra illustration intended for the front cover label of regular copies. With the first impression points: the single endpaper occurring four times and the title page dated 1903. This binding is unrecorded. The gilt lettering is not uniform with the Peter Rabbit series, but the original decorative endpapers indicate that it is a publisher's binding. The following year, Warne bound up two special copies of Peter Rabbit in green morocco, one of which she presented to the Prince of Wales. That binding is uniform in general appearance to the regular trade editions, and it may be that the present copy represents something of a trial run for extra special bindings.

[London: Privately Printed for the Author], 1902. 12mo. Original pictorial pink boards. Color frontispiece and plates by the author. Trace of dust-spotting to boards and minor foxing/offsetting to endsheets, otherwise a fine copy. Half morocco fleece-lined clamshell case. First edition. One of five hundred copies printed. Both THE TALE OF PETER RABBIT (1901) and THE TAILOR OF GLOUCESTER were first privately printed for Beatrix Potter; trade editions of each were later produced by Warne. In the privately printed TAILOR OF GLOUCESTER the text is considerably longer than that in the first trade, and, the cover contains a vignette illustration which was never used again. According to Margaret Lane, THE TAILOR OF GLOUCESTER "remained Beatrix Potter's own favourite among all her books.''. QUINBY, p.32.

1910. Later Edition. [1903 stated verso titlepage]. London / New York, Frederick Warne & Co. Ltd., no year [c. 1910]. 11 cm x 14,5 cm. Frontispiece, 85 pages.

Front endpapers starting (see the images i took of front and rear endpapers !). Helen Beatrix Potter (28 July 1866 - 22 December 1943) was an English writer, illustrator, natural scientist, and conservationist best known for her children's books featuring animals, such as those in The Tale of Peter Rabbit. Born into an upper-class household, Potter was educated by governesses and grew up isolated from other children. She had numerous pets and spent holidays in Scotland and the Lake District, developing a love of landscape, flora, and fauna, all of which she closely observed and painted. Though Potter was typical of women of her generation in having limited opportunities for higher education, her study and watercolours of fungi led to her being widely respected in the field of mycology. In her thirties, Potter self-published the highly successful children's book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit. Following this, Potter began writing and illustrating children's books full-time. In all, Potter wrote thirty books; the best known being her twenty-three children's tales. With the proceeds from the books and a legacy from an aunt, in 1905 Potter bought Hill Top Farm in Near Sawrey, a village in the Lake District, which at that time was in Lancashire. Over the following decades, she purchased additional farms to preserve the unique hill country landscape. In 1913, at the age of 47, she married William Heelis, a respected local solicitor from Hawkshead. Potter was also a prize-winning breeder of Herdwick sheep and a prosperous farmer keenly interested in land preservation. She continued to write and illustrate, and to design spin-off merchandise based on her children's books for British publisher Warne, until the duties of land management and her diminishing eyesight made it difficult to continue. She died of pneumonia and heart disease on 22 December 1943 at her home in Near Sawrey at the age of 77, leaving almost all her property to the National Trust. She is credited with preserving much of the land that now constitutes the Lake District National Park. Potter's books continue to sell throughout the world in many languages with her stories being retold in song, film, ballet, and animation, and her life depicted in a feature film and television film.
